Did that hurt??

Paul devised this idea were he cut up a small slice in the armpit of a and I can pass the drain collection bulb and put it in the shirt pocket. This system has worked beautifully so far. The visiting nurse came in today to check up on the drain and the wound and was very impressed with the contraption. Paul had left the bandage over the wound with temporary tape after my shower so that she could check out the wound. As expected, that passed with flying colors... however I had a complaint about "goop" appearing to clog the drain tube, she said "oh that is easy, you basically proceed to milk the tube and it will work itself through". She then proceeded to do this as if it was a basement sump pump. I unleash a few expletives in Spanish AND English... at which points she says I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WOULD HURT. FUCKING OUCH!

I think that its time for Paul to go to nursing school so that he can take care of all of this stuff on his own!!!

I wonder what TV show or store Paul got that idea from.

Do you think he missed his calling?

Glad things are going well.

The visiting nurse is very amazonian. Tall, built and ready to punch someone if needed. She is blondish.... if you get my drift. Maybe I would classify her as Action Barbie vs. Cutie Heidi

Paul is so smart!!! He should market his idea!!! By the way.. the woman is messing with a fresh wound in an unusual place.. she didn't think it was gonna hurt? What the hell is that about?

In the nurses defenses, there was a lot of "goop" on the line...
